Is this a column or a blackmail note?

It's blackmail. Crucify anyone they name or they will riot.

Sorry Mr. Frazier, you're a concern troll. You want Zimmerman to take a plea for fear there will be riots? As an American, you should understand that our system of justice doesn't work that way. If it did, OJ wouldn't have gotten off. How about you channel your “concern” into responsibility and go out into your community and teach your fellow man how to behave like a civilized people? Additionally, Florida is a State that relies heavily on its tourism industry. If you think my State will allow you and your people to drive that industry away because you need to railroad someone for the sake of your race hustling industry, you are mistaken. This ain't Kali.

In 2012, the word “justice” has been twisted to mean “whatever special protected groups want”.

when was the last time anyone trembled in fear at the prospect of whites rioting over a simple court verdict?

Whites don't riot over court verdicts. To do so would be uncivilized, and only an uncivilized group would do that.

"So what would a fair outcome look like? To my mind, the government offers Zimmerman a plea deal that has him back on the street within this decade, and he accepts it quietly. That seems like a conclusion most reasonable Americans could live with."

I reject your absurd, race baiting, threatening premise and you can consider me one of the "unreasonable" ones you POS.

This is the problem when you have newspaper and media arschlochs thinking they are attorneys.

Mark O'Mara's job, and he'll tell you this himself, is to represent the best interest of his client. Anything else is malpractice. His job is not to satisfy you, me, or the peanut gallery. His job is to portray the different scenarios to his client and follow his wishes. If that means a trial, then go to trial. If that means a plea, then take a plea.

I personally witnessed courageous Koreans protecting their stores; I have a pictue of the LA riots on my wall.

I'm just sorry they didn't have Steyr AUG's to wave around instead of those Glocks and Rugers.

And maybe a Barrett.

To my mind, the fellow has the fair trial he's entitled to.....

Unless he's entitled to dismissal of the charges instead, on the strength of his self-defense right and the Stand Your Ground law.

Black on White crime is not treated as a “hate crime”.

Zimmerman will walk and there will be untold numbers of Reginald Denny reenactments (that’s the only likely parallel to the LA riots) as whites are massacred by blacks as targets of opportunity.

Attack the wrong person, and they'll be picking out .45 holes from their carcasses.

The soldier at right in the portrait appears to be an approximation of a Roman soldier rather than a Herodian one .... in which case he'd be wearing traditional Judaean armor and headgear.

As a Roman, he'd be wearing (rather than as shown) a Coolus C or E helmet, in bronze, probably without crest on fatigue or garrison duty, and a dark-brown paludamentum (cloak) of semicircular pattern, in dark-brown wool, over his Gaulish-pattern thigh-length chain-mail hauberk with Greek-type shoulder doublings ("straps"). He probably wouldn't carry a pilum, but more likely a hasta longa while in garrison, and would wear a gladius Hispanus (short sword) from the right side of his swordbelt and a pugio (fighting dirk) or utility knife on the other side. He would be shod with caligae, military open-toed boots with hobnailed soles, and he would carry a semi-rectangular scutum with squared-off Augustan bottom and top, if he were a legionary, or a round or elliptical clipeus if he were an auxiliary infantryman. Underneath, he'd be wearing a subcingaculum or armored loincloth, with heavy ends hanging down fore and aft with metal studs, woven of a heavy byssos of tightly-weft linen, which would impart many of the qualities, and much of the protection against cuts and thrusts, of modern Kevlar cloth.

The days of the docile Caucasian are coming to a close.

Technically I'm not Caucasian, but the docile white has only been around since the late 60's in some quarters, and the mid 1980's for Irish and Italians.

It can't end too soon.

Unfortunately for the idiot author, Zimmerman’s attorney represents Zimmerman. If somehow he tries to weigh the interests of anyone else over those of his client he should be disbarred.

Just on the strength of this liberal scribbler's mumbled hope that Zimmermann's lawyer will, ahem, "grow", and lift his eyes above the mundane to the necessary blah, blah, blah .... i.o.w. sell his client down the river, I would hope that Alan Dershowitz will show up momentarily with brief in hand -- as amicus curiae if nothing else. If the first chair won't take second fiddle to the more zealous and effective defender, then maybe an amicus would be the way to go. Are amici allowed in criminal trials?

Anyone?

Zim should plead guilty to littering for failure to police his brass.

According to the article and your statement, I am correct in saying that it is better for George Zimmerman to go to prison, even if he is innocent and killed Trayvon is self defense? Has this country come to the point to where all Americans would be willing to let an innocent man go to prison just to satisfy the radical blacks in this country? Is this country going to bow down to this? Then we would be no better than the citizens in the Middle East who let the Taliban and other radical Muslims take over their towns. How could we live with ourselves knowing we let such an injustice happen. Radical blacks such as the new black panthers will cause riots if they can no matter what. Their is no stopping what is coming. It may not happen this year or next, but this country is a simmering pot of hatred just boiling and waiting to explode. Sacrificing a man without a proper trial will not stop the inevitable. I wish it were not, but I see how our society is getting worse. All good Christians should pray for our country.

Thank you. I fear for my family, not from other races, but because IF they were to ever be arrested, I fear they could be sacrificed and imprisoned even if innocent. If it happens to one person, than it could happen again. Why? Because the NAACP and all the others who signed the petition to arrest Zimmerman would know they have the power to control our legal system. We would no longer be governed by the law but by the fear that certain factions in our society will riot. I love this country but I would be ashamed to call myself an American if we bow to the masses on this matter.

Does anyone else see the parallel between this situation and the Islamist threats? It seems to me that the race pimps are just trying to soften us up, and get us to lie down and take it to avoid riots, so that the Muslims can finish us off.

For what it's worth, I don't think it matters what the outcome of this is. There will be riots no matter what happens in the legal system.

An awful story, but when I went to the article, I didn’t see anything about about the woman being raped. What was your source on that part?

Guilty or innocent of 2nd degree murder, Zimmerman has been chosen as a sacrifice to black America. A little less obvious than dragging him up to the top of a volcano, but the same result for him in the end.

The churning black underclass and those in the political class that subsist on that anger and resentment, must be fed.
